on the 1995 championship series between the Mariners and the Yankees:
[P id=p2]"This series has really highlighted the differences between our two cities. In Yankee Stadium, the New York fans were throwing garbage onto the outfield, and the Mariner players were running around separating it."
LOL! I have to admit to more than half of those, for most apply to Seattle's kid brother to the south. I would add (though not for me):
You feel turn signals are an invasion of privacy.
And if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes.
